London homes are often short on sockets – especially converted flats where rooms were divided or kitchens squeezed into old bedrooms. Extra double sockets, USB sockets and better lighting controls are some of the most requested small jobs in the capital.

Group your small electrical jobs together and compare quotes from electricians who work in your part of London.

Small jobs, big-city logistics

Parking and travel mean many London electricians have a minimum charge for small jobs. Listing everything you want done – sockets, switches, light fittings – lets them quote for one efficient visit.

In flats, sockets and switches are often on party walls or concrete, which affects how cables can be routed. Electricians will suggest the neatest option, from chasing to surface trunking.
